Brisbane

Few days behind in Jimboomba with relatives and sights. 1st day after arrival we grabbed the motorhome from Brisbane and headed south to South Port and Surfers Paradise to get some driving practice with Lily’s great advices. Next day we headed back to South Port transport center where Aino arrived in Grayhound bus from Sydney. We happened to drive there over Tamborine mountain (Nort Tamborine and Eagle Hights) and those narrow, steep, winding serpentine roads were quite experience in noisy motorhome. But we arrived to Jimboomba in good health and during daylight time. Next day was mainly planning the road and night stops on our way north with little motorhome ride and introduction to Jimboomba and also having some rest from travelling.

Then comes Sunday and tour in Brisbane with Tero. Nice sights from CitiCat on Brisbane river and walking across the city having cup of cappuccino and then back to Jimboomba and once again over Tamborine mountain this time from other way around and really to top. What a view to the coast upto Surfers Paradise and Coolangatta. Ride was much nicer when Tero was driving and we were not riding in motorhome (ask Pirjo-Liisa if you don’t believe me). Safely to Jimboomba again just nicely for the delicious dinner like all the other nights as well.

Now it is Monday and first driving day is behind with it’s 200 km ride. Short distance is due to visit in Gavins farm where he grows strawberries, pineapples and mangos. Nice to see the activities and machinery from cultivating to picking and packing. We also got some tastes with us for the road. Then we went to Sunshine Beach  and spend some time enjoying the views and waves of Pacfic Ocean. Now we are spending night in caravan park in Noosa Heads (Tewantin) in our motorhome and playing and laughing. Tomorrow we will start north again let’s see how far we will get.
